Death On The Stairs Lyrics - Up The Bracket - Libertines

From way far across the sea 

Came an Eritrean maiden she 

Had a one track mind and eyes funny 

Half blinded in a war 

With a pale young Anglican 

Who said he'd help her all he can 

Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend 

She had no notion to please him 

Just say ta ra and leave him behind 

A little boy in a stairwell who says 

"I hate people like you" 

I got match sticks and cable TV 

Half of less than fifty p 

We all clambered over the balcony 

Bangin' on the window waking Steve 

Bringing with a true love his unholy friend 

Singin',"If you really need it 

You just won't leave it behind" 

So baby please kill me 

Oh baby don't kill me 

But don't bring that ghost 'round to my door 

I don't wanna see him anymore 

Please kill me 

Oh baby don't kill me 

Just don't bang on about yesterday 

You know, I wouldn't know about that anyway 

I'll go 

Monkey said to the mouse before 

If she loved anybody more than he 

It turns you into stone 

No I'm reversing down the lonely street 

Cheap hotel where I can meet the past 

And pay it off and keep it sweet 

This is sweet like nothing no 

It's just like nothing at all 

And I've seen you there 

How could I help but stare? 

It rips the heart out off your baby 

Taken far too much to see 

Or think or touch what's real 

Stranded on this street that 

Paved my only way home 

You really need it oh 

You just won't leave it behind 

Oh please kill me 

Oh no don't kill me 

Don't let those sun see my no 

I don't wanna see him anymore 

Please kill me 

Oh love don't kill me 

Don't go on about yesterday 

You know, I wouldn't know about that anyway 

Oh no 

Aa ahh 

Aaa aa aa 

Aa ahh 

He got nothin' no 

He got nothin' at all
